Something i was told recently that I feel applies to jealousy,and revenge as well......
Resentment is swallowing poison, wishing the other person dies.

You are only going to hurt yourself.
As to the game playing...
It would be a very lucky person who has never experienced this, and perhaps that is what makes it seem so abbhorent. When you can finally recognise it for what it is, and know that it will only affect you as a person if you let it, and as War suggested, it is "game over".

As to the game player...
And lets face it, after honing game playing skills on a person living with PTSD, they would feel like it would only be a matter of time before you 'cracked' and gave them back the control they are not only used to, but have but have been accustomed to having. Of course they will try and try again!
Letting go of control is scary, and fear is sometimes the biggest motivator of all. Who are they really without you and your PTSD? Sometimes it is the hardest question of all....Standing here on my own, Who am I really?

As to protecting yourself, and not becoming a game player yourself.....
Ultimately I comes down to how well you know yourself, and whether you can face the unknown and stand tall knowing you have the skills to live life independantly.
Just my thoughts....
